Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse will face Louisiana Tech for just the second time ever when the Orange hosts the Bulldogs on Dec. 14 at the Carrier Dome.

The only other game between Syracuse and Louisiana Tech came on Dec. 4, 1988 in the championship game of the old Carrier Classic. Syracuse won 106-98 in overtime.

This season's meeting between Syracuse and Louisiana Tech falls on a Sunday. The time for the game has yet to be determined.

Louisiana Tech was 29-8 last season under coach Michael White. The Bulldogs won Conference USA's regular-season title. Louisiana Tech lost in the Conference USA Tournament final and then posted a 2-1 record in the NIT.

The Bulldogs feature senior guard Kenneth Smith, who ranked second in Division I assist average (7.7) and was a first-team All-Conference USA selection. Junior guard Alex Hamilton, a third-team All-Conference USA pick, averaged 14.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game in 2013-14.
